What is The Big Dill World's Largest Pickle Party®?
The Big Dill World's Largest Pickle Party® is the premier pickle event of the year, featuring a pickle garden with 12 handpicked artisan pickle companies sampling and selling a variety of pickles from all over the country. After the festival, attendees will receive a survey to vote for their favorite pickle company that will win Best In Show.
Entertaining guests throughout the weekend is a modern country, pop, and rock-themed live stage production with performances by musicians, actors, comedy routines, and choreographed dancers. The World Pickle Eating Championship also entertains guests and crowd favorite Brine Chug Challenge.
Custom-themed cocktails and liquor experiences are developed throughout the festival, including Pickle Back Shots, Pickle Margaritas, Pickletinis, and Pickle-Themed Beer. Photo-Ready Attractions are placed throughout the festival and Giant L.E.D. Video Walls capture all the stage action, so fans never miss a second while in concession lines.
A section of the festival is dedicated to carnival games to entertain kids; mascots, including The Big Dill's own Dilly the Pickle™, traverse the festival grounds dancing and taking pictures with guests; plus, you can test your rodeo skills with indoor bull riding. And you can't miss the food selection where guests can munch on pickled-themed culinary delights, including fried pickles, pickle pizza, pickle egg rolls, pickle fries, pickle ice cream, and your traditional carnival treats and sweets. So get ready to Relish your experience at The Big Dill®.
